  comprehension strategies
• Monitoring and Adjusting Reading Speed
• Predicting

20
hauling
pulling or moving with force
artificial
made by people rather than nature

• Monitor and Adjust Reading Speed
• Im not sure what the writer means by backhome.
  Its written as one word. That seems strange.
  I need to slow down while I read to understand
  what the author is trying to say here.
• Okay, now I see that the narrators family moved
  from Russia to New York. They found their new
  home very different from life in Russia. Russia
  is what the narrator means by backhome.

21
babushka
a head scarf shaped like a triangle

• Monitoring and Adjusting Reading Speed
• I see a word that I dont understand
  herebabushka. Maybe if I slow down my reading
  speed and look at the illustrations while I read
  I can figure it out.
• The story tells me that the little girl liked to
  throw her babushka in the air. In the picture,
  the girl is throwing something in the air. It
  must be her babushka. In the picture all the
  women and girls are wearing big scarves on their
  heads. I guess thats what a babushka is.

22
challah
a bread, which is often braided, made with eggs.
Challah is eaten on the Jewish Sabbath.
poverty
the state of being poor
handkerchief
a cloth use to wipe the nose or face

  in the story and what I can learn from the
  storys pictures.

  occasions, like a wedding and the birth of a
  baby.
• I predict the narrator will use the quilt at her
  wedding and when her child is born.
• After I finish reading the story Ill check to
  see if my prediction came true.
